yeah delaying call a turn is probably good enough to bring the deck down to the proper level. Still playable but way more vulenerable to interaction

An extra turn or two to fetch a Kaleb's Choice from my Icaria Blue's market sounds perfect, yeah. Doesn't reduce the impact, but reduces the speed a little.

I got a system message in-game, like the reminders thst units can't attack the turn you play them, or that you require the following influence to play that card, but something entirely different, and with a larger font and it was way too fast for me to read. Happened entirely apropos of nothing. Opponent declined to allow me to message them to ask if they saw it too and I am deathly confused. Any y'all know what it might've been? I wasn't trying to take any action at the time and Google has been no help thus far. Happened during a ranked game, was on Haunting Scream and opp was on some Praxis overrun bullshit or something I think, don't remember and don't care, just want to know :wtc: it might've said.

I finally got around to opening my Dusk Road packs for league and this is the resulting pool:
https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/ldhxeOYmOVU/league-pool?view=color

I was running FJP before, but didn't have a ton of luck with the thing I cobbled together. I forgot to export the deck before throwing everything into eternalwarcry.com, so I guess it's gone but it was basically the decent bodies+removal. Aeva is my only real bomb (as far as I can tell), so I'm probably going to at least stay in Primal.

[edit] Rebuilt it as a JPf with the new cards. Maybe it isn't garbage? Maybe it is. You decide.

They changed ranks a little. You can no longer drop from gold to silver or silver to bronze, and you can't demote within the first three games after reaching a new tier, so it's a little harder to really get kicked while you're on a losing streak.

Also the Eternal on Twitch event is starting in about half an hour. 4K gold or 300 gems, constructed play, 9 wins/3 losses, and the top 10 winners get a year of Twitch Prime. https://www.direwolfdigital.com/news/new-event-eternalontwitch/

No, somehow a copy of Bar the Gates ended up in my rakano aggro deck. Just one, and I'm not sure what it was in place of, but I know I wouldn't have just randomly put a singleton of something like that in that deck.

That's probably exactly what happened, considering that's the only reasonable explanation.

I can never get into the game since trying to come back, it infinitely loops when it's trying to start up, and although the problem seems common the listed solutions of clearing data/reinstalling etc aren't working.

Sometimes on mobile the act of trying to scroll through my collection during deckbuilding results in it randomly throwing singleton copies of the displayed cards into my deck.

It's been addressed and they're going to fix it so only the first 3 runs count, so you're released from your prison of grinding the event all weekend.

Slowly building up my collection of cards through daily wins. Is it worth buying the campaigns? They're pricy, gold-wise, but I've been seeing some campaign-only cards that pop up in decklists.

Aranan

Release the Kraken
There are a few cards in each of the campaigns that see some use. For what it's worth, if you're going to spend $ on anything in this game, I believe the campaigns give you the best ratio of $ to gold, so they're the best thing to put real money into.

Plus they're kind of fun and flesh out the world a little if that's remotely interesting to you.

The first campaign is kind of skippable. The other 2 have really, really good cards.

You're right, I thought I remembered more good stuff being from the first campaign but I went through and made a list:

Jekk's Bounty - Quarry (Copperhall Bailiff, Stray into Shadow, Passage of Eons, Cliffside Porter)
Horus Traver - Cinder Yeti, Auric Interrogator, Vision of Austerity, Tavrod (Crimson Firemaw, Power Stone, Devoted Theurge, Yetipult)
Dead Reckoning - Bore, little Icaria, Inquisitor's Blade, Hailstorm, Ripknife Assassin, In Cold Blood, Equivocate, Hooru Pacifier (Oni Dragonsmith, Venom Rider sorta I guess)

Cards outside the parenthesis are the that go in to a bunch of decks, or are the best option for the decks that they live in. Inside are the cards I see less often - either as a single copy in a market, a 5/6th copy of a similar effect like Stray into Shadow for extra board wipes or cards used in niche decks that are off-meta.

Dead Reckoning is definitely where to start - Hailstorm is still the best early sweeper by a mile and several of the other cards in there are really nice to have on hand. Tavrod isn't as good as he used to be, so Horus Traver isn't quite as value as it was before set4.

what horror the gas

I am on an absolute TEAR with Skycraggro right now. Turns out when all these decks are looking to pull big shenanigans or go for long games or are control, playing a deck where you can win on turn 3 is really good. Currently I'm 17-3 out of the last 20 games and have gone from Silver 3 to Gold 2 in like two days of casual play with it.

I was on a similar tear with skycraggo, but for some reason I'm stuck at good 2. Seems like it's flooded with praxis decks now.

I got to masters this month and last month with a Rizahn/Icaria deck. Icaria used to be balanced around her power requirement 3F3T, but now it's trivial to hit that with Bulletshaper. I think she needs a bit of a nerf.

I took out a couple of each of yeti and vadius and brought in 4x thunderbird which has definitely helped finish things off over the top against praxis

I might try that. Oddly enough I haven't run into much in the way of Praxis yet, and the ones I have I tend to run over before they actually do much. I did lose one to a slow start + SST, but usually they play some power, drop Teacher, I torch Teacher and run them down.

As usual for a deck like this I don't really have an answer for SST beyond "go wide enough they die before I do" or maybe warcry up one lucky unit enough to go over it, but neither is reliable.

My anti-SST tech is 'win by t4 on the play'

Or maybe 'hold burn and throw away warcry units early game for later payoff' but this is really hard to predict a lot of the time.

Comedy option: ankle cutter!

Nighthand
Nov 4, 2009

I did have Ankle Cutter in the market but I think I swapped it for Obliterate. I could probably put it back in, take out Factory Quota or something since if I'm in a position to be casting Quota I'm not going to win that game.

I don't like merchants either because of the speed, but I think that list only works if you can out-trade early on and warcry snowball (which a lot of the time you can do!) so if you're running into a Time-heavy micrometa bringing in merchants/some other means of gaining midgame reach (flyers to combat fatties, ankle cutter to take down SST) could be a good option. I don't think the full market package is necessary to swing the matchup but ymmv

I'm actually playing it with only 2 big Icarias in the main deck because I didn't want to craft a 4th and subbed in an extra amilli. It's an effective deck, but kinda boring with ranked just being battle of the Icarias right now.
